Does BBO Log You Out If You Switch Windows?

The BBO client sends a "heartbeat" message periodically to the server. If the server doesn't get a message after a period of time (like 30 or 60 seconds) it treats this as a connection failure and logs you out.

Some browsers will suspend scripts in windows other than the currently focused window, which prevents the app from being able to send the heartbeats, and triggers a logout.

Thanks, I suspected something like this. On my phone, BBO will log me out when I switch window if I am in power save mode.
